Is around $230 about how much I should expect to spend on a rod and reel? I
guess, now that I think about it, I spent more on my St. Croix rod and Penn
reel a few years ago. So, yeah, that sounds about right.

You could get a Cabela's Three Forks and a Pflueger Medalist
for $75 if you wanted to go the cheap route:

But obviously I don't recommend it or I wouldn't have steered
you towards ezflyfish. In fly fishing as in most things, you
get what you pay for.

One more thing. The ezflyfish combo includes a $60 fly line. In
fly fishing a good fly line is essential. You can really sour yourself
on the whole enterprise by trying to cast a piece of **** fly line. If
you do decide to go for the cheap rod & reel from Cabela's be sure
to take the fly line they send with it and dump it in the trash.
